With Quirky you can create some of the most awesome applications for Google’s Android mobile operating system, and now, version 7.2, brings a new kernel version, Linux 4.1.7 LTS, and adds major structural changes to the graphical stack by implementing X.Org in /usr and removing the old /usr/X11R7, so that the distribution can be in line with all the other GNU/Linux operating systems out there.
